The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control estimates that over 8,000,000 Americans are injured every year in slip and fall accidents. In the state of California, negligence must be shown on the part of the property owner where the accident occurred in order for them to be held legally liable for injuries. The fact they own the property does not automatically assign responsibility to them for injuries that occurred on their property.

Slip and fall accidents are generally considered premises liability cases which is a legal term that refers to the responsibility of property owners for accidents that occur on their property. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their properties in a safe condition or, at the very least, warning people of the existence of potential safety hazards.

A slip and fall accident can result in minor scrapes and bruising or cause a life-threatening head trauma, or life-altering spinal cord injury. The experienced premises liability attorneys at The Cochran Firm will work together to make certain you are fully compensated for the injuries you have suffered by recovering costs of your medical expenses, income losses, loss of enjoyment of life and your pain and suffering.
